SwaddleDesigns blankets are the only swaddling blankets with instructions sewn to the edge of the blanket. Moms, dads, grandparents and caregivers appreciate the instructions at their fingertips when they are learning how to swaddle.

*disclosure: I received a SwaddleDesigns blanket to use with baby. Check SwaddleDesigns FB page for coupon codes. I found a half off one and bought 3 SwaddleLite packs (like pictured above) – woohoo! All thoughts are my own!

About Hanan Webster

In 2010, Hanan went from talking about her parenting ups & downs on private forums to discussing them with literally everyone on the internet with her blog Eat.Craft.Parent - since then, she’s had the opportunity to talk about parenting, cooking, photography, marriage, crafts, faith, and so much more. She also shares her opinions on everyday products from food to baby gear, and everything in between. With four little girls all under seven, there is never a dull moment in their home. When she’s not blogging she’s chatting about parenting and life in general on Facebook and Twitter, or wasting way too much time on Pinterest.

My son hated being swaddled as an infant but my 2 month old daughter has loved it from day 1! It took some practicing to do but now it is so simple to just wrap her up tight and she is almost instandly calmed!

My daughter LOVED being swaddled when she was a baby. She could not fall asleep without being wrapped snug as a bug in rug. At first I was horrible at it but by the first week I had mastered the perfect swaddle.

OMG thank God for swaddling! My daughter loved the swaddle when she was an infant and I swear it made her sleep for longer stretches. I never understood how to do the swaddle and I always bought though velcro swaddlers!

We swaddled Gaby for close to a year before she was comfortable enough sleeping without being wrapped up. With my twins, when they were little, we actually swaddled them together. I am a HUGE advocate for swaddling babies. I know some babies loathe it, but for those who don’t, I think you should absolutely do it!

I never could quite get the hang of swaddling when my son was a newborn. They showed me how at the hospital, but I never could get it as tight as they could. I’d try and try again, but in the end I’d just wad the blanket all up around him. Thank goodness my swaddling skills weren’t an indication of my other mommy skills. :)

Yes- when my babies were little I did the swaddling and it was fantastic. That feeling of being nice, warm and in a tight space that reminded them of the womb worked great- especially those first few months.
